So, freaking crackin' time at UFC 89, and it was so much better than UFC 85. Also really nice to see some seriously excellent talent coming out of the UK! The seats were wicked and we were like 20 feet away from the cage. Almost every fight was the shiznit!
Terry Etim is a bad mama jamma and Dan Hardy is freaking awesome and ridiculously quick, I'm talking GSP quick!
Have to say that the Paul Taylor fight really pissed me off! Poor geezer was robbed and the judges were either totally retarded, watching another fight or they were American, regardless of which I think they need to rethink their judging system and base it on something other than pulling random figures from the air which most definitely looked to be the case in this fight.
The Bisping fight was class and even though Lebens face looked like he lost, everyone was holding their breath for the decision. Overall, Bisping was using his footwork to stay out of trouble and even though he was not aggressive in his attacks, moving backwards most of the time, I reckon he deserved the win. Leben, cheeky fucker he is decided to come at Bisping at the end of rounds 2 and 3 with his guard down bating our boy but he kept his cool and just tee'd off a few nice shots. I have to say though, the support for Bisping was amazing and with any luck I'll be able to watch the replay on Setanta when I get back. Is he ready for a shot at Anderson Silva? Shit no! But that's not to say he won't be eventually.
One thing I will say, with the quality of the fighters coming out of the UK, the next season of the Ultimate fighter which should be USA vs the UK is gonna be freaking awesome!
Anyways, off to Dublin in January for UFC 92 and it looks like we'll be going for VIP tickets so that we get to meet the fighters. Nice!
